At the time Of the revival of capital
punishment in Switzerland law was
passed to the effect that each canton was
to appoint its own executioner, who
was to receive SO francs every time his
service were called into requisition.
Not long afterwards the common Coun-
Gil of the Town of Basic were placed in
an awkward dilema, for q sentence OF
death had been pronounced which had
to be carried into effect within twenty
four hours, while as yet no one had been
appointed to the Office of cxecutioner.
They were unable to procure one from
Il neighboring canton, as they were pro-
hibited from SO doing under the provis-
ions OF the recent law, and to appeal to
foreign Government was repugnan,
to the Swiss national pride. After the
Council had racked their brains to nc
purpose one of the City Fathers at length
arose and said: .I'll tell you what WI

Winter weather in Dakota

One day last week found us fifteer
miles north of Towncr Oak, on thu
sharp slope Of one of those rounded
hills which are such characteristic fea
ture Of the landscape in the Mouse River
country. Not cloud is in the sky and
the even, white glow along the horizon
outlines the most distant objects with
startling plainness. The sunlight un
impeded in its flight to the earth, i.
warm upon the land. The view il
glorious. A scattered grove of gnarled
oaks covers the slope, while from it.
base and reaching southwark to thu
distant Mouse River, rise a succession
of rounded, grass covered buttes, will
many i grassy meadow between theil
crests.
Bands of cattle and droves of horse!
are scattered here and there, rs con
tentedly grazing on the rich feed as i
it were leafy June instead Of late Nov
ember. But for the leafless tree an.
keen pip of the air, during the earl,
morning hours, there is no evidenc,
that winter is here. How odd it seem.
with not flake of snow for hundreds
of miles around. to read from the dali,
papers, now four days old, about un
timely SHOWS that have already faller
on the North Atlantic coast, and ad
vices are that there have already beer
two heavy snow falls in the centra
Western States, and farmersin the corr
belt have taken up and been feeding
their cattle for month past.
To one unacquainted with thi
climate, it must seem very strange tha
North Dakota yet awaits her first snow
fall OF the season, and may have t.
wait until the winter is far spent. Tha
this part Of the territory is outside til,
snow belt, lies in the fact, as shown b,
the Signal Service records, that storm
paths during late autumn and winter
lie far south Of the forty-eighth parable
Occasionally one, even this early in tn,
season, strays up this way, but the nil
is SO dry that but little snow can b,
squeezed out Of it. Not until the frs
days of March bring increased heat ant
moisture, does the snow fall to an,
depth. These facts have an importan
influence in lengthening the grazing
season, as exemplified by the scene be
fore me. notice that Mouse Rivel
ranchmen do not find it profitable to nss
sleighs-the light snow falls are tor
quickly cut away by the .chinook'
winds, which with their warm breatf
blow for days at time out here during
